Abstract
A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, controlling a power supply system to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system, the controlling step based on switching overlap information that includes instructions for either advancing or retarding a switching signal associated with at least one of the switching devices.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- controlling a power supply system to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system, the controlling step based on switching overlap information that includes instructions for either advancing or retarding a switching signal associated with at least one of the switching devices.
A method, comprising:
- controlling a power supply system of a vehicle to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system by readjusting a switching signal in response to a switching overlap between two or more of the switching devices.
A power supply system, comprising:
- a plurality of switching devices;
- and
- a switching overlap avoidance system that monitors switching events of said plurality of switching devices, said switching overlap avoidance system configured to readjust one or more switching signals in response to a switching overlap between two or more of said plurality of switching devices in order to avoid an over-voltage event.
